Out on the Salt-marsh
In summertime the salt marsh is a haze of sea-pinks and sea-lavender. But in winter it's a desolate, mysterious place: its typical plants - glasswort, annual seablite, sea purslane and sea-arrowgrass - have to survive regular inundations by salt water.
JOHN BARRETT goes on a Radio Nature Trail to see the salt-marsh plants, and birds, near Dale in Pembrokeshire.

At Christmas we treat all children as if they were orphans. It is particularly difficult to get childless friends and relations to understand that expensive present-giving is not good for our children who often discard the gifts on Boxing Day. The real motive is not the child's needs, but the adult's, so how can one stop it?
One of the problems to be discussed by CANON BRYAN GREENE , DR WENDY GREENGROSS and DR JAMES HEMMING.
